Pumpkin Pie Spice is one of those spices you only use a few times a year, and you never need until you really NEED it!  I like to make a big batch (about 1/4 cup worth) that will last me all season, and is ready to go whenever I have the urge to make Skinny Pumpkin Muffins or any number of my favorite pumpkin dessert recipes.

Why we make our own Pumpkin Pie Spice:

Pumpkin pie spice is made from a combination of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and allspice.

  • Tastes Better:  This is a spice that you use seasonally, which means if you buy a bottle, you probably won’t use it all and it won’t stay fresh year after year.  So, instead of letting it sit around in your cupboard for months, mix it up fresh right when you need it!
  • Saves money: Making homemade pumpkin pie spice is also much cheaper than the spice bottle you get at the store, so save yourself some money, especially if you plan to do a lot of pumpkin baking.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Spice

Measure out your spices in a small bowl and mix them together.  This recipe yields 2 Tbs. and can be substitute for pumpkin pie spice in any recipe!  You can also double or trip the recipe it to save some for later. Store the spice mixture in an air tight container to use for later. Feel free to customize your pumpkin spice to your liking-go heavy on your favorite spice and less on the others.

A spoonful of each spice needed to make Pumpkin Pie Spice, labeled, on a plate, then stirred together.
